Helping to make the world go round

As the world leader in the supply of energy and telecom cables and systems, we’re at the forefront of growth and innovation.

Power Grids

Our world-class expertise and excellence range from HV and submarine to power transmission, from distribution to offshore wind farms and from power-from-shore and asset monitoring systems to network components and installation capabilities.

Oil & Gas

We provide state-of-the-art, tailored solutions and services on a global scale to industries that include: exploration and production, pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG), and refineries and petrochemical.

Construction & Infrastructure

We provide power for thousands of buildings, landmark constructions and infrastructures around the world. We also make them exceptionally safe, thanks to our fire-proof, state-of-the-art cables and systems. Not only that, we deliver the information flow to these preeminent buildings and giant infrastructures need to function as efficiently as possible.

Transportation & Mobility

Our cables enable the safe function of skyscraper elevators. They keep aircrafts flying, and cars and vehicles moving. And they keep trains and ships railing and sailing lands and oceans.

Telecoms

Through our optical fibre and telecom networks we deliver the vital flow of information and data to communities and industries all over the planet, even crossing ocean depths with our submarine telecom cables. Our Multimedia & Enterprise and Networks businesses area continuously updates its offer to make connectivity even more efficient and speedy.

Services

We provide our clients with advanced systems and solutions to help them constantly measure and monitor their power grids and networks, always guaranteeing ever-more efficiency.

Industries

Our global clients are active in a very wide array of plants, industries and businesses. From military and defense to mining; from cranes to nuclear plants; from solar and photovoltaics to wind turbines, and beyond.

Overhead

We produce high-temperature conductors for overhead powerlines. They are especially designed to solve problems relating to the construction of new lines due to lack of available lands, since they allow an upgrade of the existing line, increasing the ampacity from to 1.5 to 2 times by replacing only the conductors and guaranteeing a more convenient solution in terms of total cost of ownership.

ALWAYS FOCUSED ON THE CUSTOMER

Prysmian Group has set a world-class standard for quality of service, speed and flexibility. And this will continue to be our hallmark after the merger with General Cable.

Prysmian Group has established and spread a culture of supporting all markets it serves by establishing close and continuing relationships with customers. This has allowed the Group to develop a deep understanding of customers’ needs and the capability to respond with superior product design, fast and efficient service and support throughout the operating life of an installation.

This customer-centric approach is the hallmark of everything Prysmian has ever done, and long will it continue thanks to our integration with General Cable. The Group’s solutions not only meet the required industry standards but are tailored to the specific demands of every customer and every project.

Prysmian has achieved this level of trust through its smooth running supply chain, a fast and decisive decision-making approach and a willingness to be flexible, so that it can continuously improve and adapt to its customers’ ever-changing needs. As shown on the map below, our clients include some of the world’s major industries and organisations, from telecoms to energy and power, right up to a wide array of manufacturing and building industries that need our cutting-edge cables and systems to make excellence the hallmark of their products, projects and achievements.
